From 8 candidates, 3 are to be selected, but one particular candidate must be included. How many ways are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 21

Because one particular candidate must be included, that candidate is fixed in every valid group. We therefore need to choose only the remaining 2 members from the other 7 candidates. Since selection order does not matter, use a combination: C(7,2) = 7 × 6 / 2 = 21. Thus there are 21 possible selections, so option B is correct. Counting C(8,3) would include groups that omit the required candidate and would violate the condition. Permutations are also inappropriate because the selected group has no order. The fixed-inclusion condition reduces the problem to choosing two people from seven, which is exactly what the calculation represents.
